Dilesseye
Of all the Twin Worlds Pantheon, few are as misunderstood as Dilesseye. Most consider the goddess of pleasure to be simply a goddess of sex, but she is far more complicated than that. Indeed, she can be said to be a goddess of the enjoyment of life, itself.
Divine Domains
The members of the Trinity of Song all favor the domains of Life and Light. Many priests of Dilesseye favor the Light domain because of the lively nature of fire. Many fringe cultists often take the Twilight domain due to their moonlit ceremonies.
Divine Realm
Since they are like brothers and sisters, the Trinity of Song all share the same realm. That realm is named Heartsfire and it rests in the first layer of the plane of Arborea, in the impossibly large and scenic mountains. It snows often there, but that snow doesn't seem to collect more than a heavy dusting and it is never cold. Dominating this realm is the city of Heartsfire. It, too is shared among the Trinity with the sole exception of the three palaces of the gods. Hers is known as the Palace of the Contented Sigh. The primary feature of this place is the vast courtyard that serves as the only place in the realm that goes without snow. Unlike her fellows, Dilesseye doesn't spend a lot of time on the streets of Heartsfire. This doesn't mean she stands apart from the people, however. There is an eternal party in the Palace of the Contented Sigh open to anyone who doesn't bring harm to others. The goddess is almost constantly mingling with her guests bringing divine levels of pleasure to those who visit her abode.Divine Symbols & Sigils
The holy symbol of Dilesseye is that of a woman's lips with one corner turned up in a smile. The smile always looks the same, but people view it in different ways. To many it looks flirtatious, and to many others it looks sly. The worshippers of Dilesseye are fond of saying that the smile's mood reflects more on the viewer than on the goddess.
Tenets of Faith
The worship of Dilesseye is primarily centered around the enjoyment of life, itself. In particular, the priesthood focuses on the pursuit of that which brings pleasure into one's life. On the other hand, they are required to avoid selfish pursuit that harms others.
To many, Dilesseye is little more than a goddess of sex, and on the surface her temples and cults do appear to support that view. However, the faith doesn't say anything about sex, whatsoever. Many of their followers do express their faith through sex, but many more don't treat it as casually as that.
Many worshippers of Dilesseye face judgement from others due to their lifestyle. Some wear this stigma proudly, but others aren't so open about their faith. These people form cults that meet in the wilderness, often in the dark of night to celebrate the many joys of life.
Physical Description
Body Features
Unlike her fellows in the Trinity of Song, whose appearance vary based on those viewing them, Dilesseye is much more like the rest of her pantheon. The gods of the Twin Worlds have a specific appearance that occasionally varies to match the differences in the races that worship them.
Dilesseye usually appears as an elven woman of utterly perfect beauty, although she occasionally appears as a member of another race. The one common thread of all of her appearances is that she never wears clothing. Every artistic depiction of her maintains this feature.

Personal history
When the cosmos was new, the Great Divine formed from nothing and then created the other gods from the nothing from which he emerged. Before the creation of the Twin Worlds, he declared that he was giving the others their chosen domain. All was simple at first.
Unfortunately, determining who among them would have rulership over love was far more complicated. Three different gods wanted that role, Eariden, Bellesmin, and finally, Dilesseye. Between them, none could decide which of them would become the goddess of love.
Even though the three disagreed, they would not fight over the role. Instead, they decided they would have a contest. They would sing, and the other gods would decide which of them would win the contest and become the god of love.
All of their songs were of such incredible beauty that they reached every god present. It is said that even the stern and dutiful Colrum laughed the unburdened laugh of a child. The gods voted and decided that Eariden's song was the best of them.
When she became the god of love, the others had to get their own divine portfolios. After a great deal of discussion, Bellesmin became the god of beauty and served as a patron of artists while Dilesseye became a goddess of pleasure and served to guide all who seek to find the joy of life.
Far from having hard feelings over their struggles, their disagreement bonded them forever. They weren't truly kin like Estae and Theane, but they treated one another as if they, too came from the same essence. Together they were known as Trinity of Song.
